About This Role — Front-End GraphQL Developer in Charlotte
Company: Kaleidoscope Innovation, listing this role in Charlotte, NC
Team: An engineering team building modern, scalable web applications for digital banking experiences
Core Work: Responsive UIs in React and TypeScript, integrated with GraphQL APIs for secure, high-performance applications
Schedule: Hybrid — 3 days in office, 2 days work from home
Level and Type: Mid-senior level, full-time
Why This Front End Developer Role in Charlotte Stands Out
Modern Stack: React, TypeScript, GraphQL, and Apollo Client are among the most in-demand front-end skills in the US market

Position Overview
The Front-End GraphQL Developer develops modern, responsive web applications using React, TypeScript, and JavaScript, builds reusable UI components and scalable front-end architectures, and consumes GraphQL APIs with Apollo Client or similar libraries. You will write GraphQL queries, mutations, and subscriptions, partner with backend engineers to integrate and optimize APIs, manage application state with Redux Toolkit, Context API, or similar tools, optimize performance, accessibility, and cross-browser compatibility, take part in architecture discussions, code reviews, and Agile ceremonies, troubleshoot production issues, and collaborate with Product Owners, UX Designers, QA, and engineering teams.
Why This Front End Developer Role Stands Out: It combines React and TypeScript with GraphQL, a stack that is strongly valued in enterprise and financial applications, you work on customer-facing digital banking software, where performance, accessibility, and security carry real weight, partnering directly with backend engineers on GraphQL schemas and queries gives you a say in how data is shaped and delivered, participation in architecture discussions and code reviews builds the senior engineering habits that lead to lead and architect roles, and a hybrid schedule with a clearly stated base range of $90,000 to $115,000 makes the offer easy to evaluate.
